"Love my life, family, friends and followers" Leonard Nimoy has CODP

Leonard Nimoy recently announced that he has been diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease to all his twitter followers.

After giving up cigarettes 30 years ago, the 82-year-old TV series star from "Star Trek" and many movies to follow, says it was "Not soon enough."

Nimoy, who played Mr. Spock aboard the Starship Enterprise from 1966-1969 on the TV series "Star Trek" tweeted "I'm doing OK."

Nimoy, according to CNN, flunked chemistry in high school and may not have grasped the long-term risks associated with smoking.

"I'm doing OK. Just can't walk distances. Love my life, family, friends and followers. LLAP" was tweeted by the actor recently after being photographed at an airport wearing an oxygen mask and in a wheelchair.

Nimoy, who dared to boldly go where no one had gone before said he "just taped my comments for Star Trek Fest to be aired on EPIX Feb. 16.
